The combination of supply voltage and load. For any given supply voltage, the greater the load (i.e. the lower its resistance), the greater the resulting current.

What does GE stand for?

GE stands for General Electric, a manufacturer who makes several different appliances, both large to small.


What is the difference between a galvanometer and an ammeter?

A galvanometer is a device used to detect small electric currents, while an ammeter is a device used to measure the strength of electric currents. The main difference is that a galvanometer is more sensitive and used for detecting small currents, while an ammeter is used for measuring larger currents.


Do all currents provide the same amount of energy?

Of course not! There is no direct relationship between electric current and electric energy. They aren't even measured in the same units. Also in most cases small electric currents provide less electric energy that very large electric currents. If all electric currents provided the same electric energy then the electric current from a flashlight battery that lights the bulb when you turn the switch on could provide the same electric energy as the electric current in a lightning bolt when it strikes... therefore every time you turned on a flashlight the electric energy would destroy the flashlight and electrocute you! As this doesn't happen, the only answer that your question can have is no!


What do you do to turn sound waves into small electric currents so they can be recorded?

Sound waves are converted into small electric currents through a process called transduction, which involves a microphone. In a microphone, sound waves cause a diaphragm to vibrate, which in turn moves a coil of wire within a magnetic field. This movement induces a small electric current in the coil, which is then amplified and recorded.


What property makes certain metalloids useful as switches to turn small electric current on and off?

Metalloids like silicon and germanium have semiconducting properties, which allow them to change their conductivity with small variations in temperature or applied voltage. This property makes them useful as switches in electronic devices to control the flow of small electric currents by turning them on and off.


Does a galvanometer measure small objects?

No, a galvanometer is a device used to detect and measure small electric currents. It is not typically used to measure small objects.

How do electric ells move?

They move just like snake do. They use small currents in the water to push against to propel themselves forward. Often, these currents are undetectable. Also, if there are no currents available, they use small "fins" to push against the water to move forward.


What small electric appliances does Farberware make?

Farberware makes a number of different types of coffee makers, from small, 2 to 4 cup percolators to a large, 36 cup urn. They also have a warming trays, blenders, convection ovens and electric skillets.


What are small-scale and large-scale wind currents called?

Small-scale wind currents are called local winds, while large-scale wind currents are known as global winds. Local winds are influenced by factors like temperature variations and topography, affecting small areas, while global winds are driven by the Earth's rotation and the unequal heating of the planet, influencing broader regions.


What property makes certain metalloids useful as switched to turn a small electric current off?

Metalloids like silicon and germanium have semiconducting properties, which allow them to switch small electric currents off when used in electronic devices. By doping these metalloids with specific impurities, their conductivity can be modulated to control the flow of electrons and enable the switching function in electronic components.
